Bella and I headed out bright and early , our first stop was Turkey Creek (where I work) to check on a project and see what supplies I would need. As I was pulling in I got a call from the wonderful Coleen telling me she looked up my scans from Tuesday and nothing has spread.. so what a great way to start the day!
Second stop was to be the groomers so Bella could get all nice and clean while I got what I needed for my project...well then the car died. So we left Turkey Creek in a tow truck with my car on the back. Off the the mechanic, where the car remains, sister-in-law came and got us and home we are.
Two minutes after arriving home, the surgeon's office called with my biopsy results: Invasive Infultary ductal carcinoma... stage 3.... please come in on Monday and talk to Dr. D, so he can go over your options, we would like to get you on the schedule for surgery next week. Please do not ask me what that all means as I am not completely sure at this point.
Right now I am feeling very overwhelmed and emotional... I appreciate the emails from everyone but to be honest, one of the main reason I started this blog was so that I could have one place for people to go for information and did not have to keep answering individual emails repeatedly. So if you have messaged me on facebook or sent me an email, please know that I have read it and I appreciate it more than you will know.. but I just plain do not have the energy to reply sometimes...in addition to being physically wiped out some days, this is emotionally draining in a way I can not explain.
So until Monday, I really do not have any more answers and it sounds like I will be making a lot of decisions then as well. Until then, keep those positive thoughts and prayers coming my way and know that I love and appreciate you all very much.
xoxoxo,
D
Hey girl. Been thinking about you and your battle. Wish there was a magic pill for this one. It seems like so many people I know are dealing w/ cancer or has a family member battling it. Keep your spirits up and know my thoughts and prayers are with you. And to give you something to look forward to, football season starts soon.
